Chapter 46: A Story
Although he felt that Lu Jinshi was a waste of drinking like this, but out of politeness, Zhang Xin still filled him with a bowl, seeing that Lu Jinshi had no intention of telling a story, Zhang Xin had no choice but to say to Zhang Xi: "Huh...... I'll tell you a story first, and then you can make up for what you said wrong? The last half of the sentence was said to Lu Jinshi. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"Good ......" Lu Jinshi nodded with a wry smile, although he didn't dry a bowl in one go like just now, he also picked up the bowl and took a big sip. With this drinking method, Zhang Xin can see that this guy is not here to drink at all, he is clearly here to buy drunk.
"......" Zhang Xin turned his head not to look at this person who was ruining things, and his heart was dripping blood. He brought a bowl to Zhang Ximan, and at this time, Lao Wang brought a plate of fried peanuts and put it on the table of the three of them. Zhang Xin thanked Lao Wang before he began to tell Zhang Xi the story: "The time may be ten years ago, or fifteen years ago...... Anyway, a long, long time ago, there was a scholar from the countryside who came to Luoyang to prepare for this year's imperial examination......"
After listening to the beginning, Zhang Xi subconsciously glanced at Lu Jinshi, knowing that most of this scholar was talking about him.
“...... Although this dynasty opened the imperial examination, compared with the previous filial piety and nine products of the righteous method to give the children of the poor family a lot more opportunities to advance, but unfortunately this opportunity is mostly given to the children of various families, like this poor scholar in the countryside, one has no silver, two has no backer, although it is full of economy, but Luoyang is full of scholars and scholars, a brick to kill a hundred or nine times out of ten is full of economy to the imperial examination, so calculated, this Luoyang City is not more than him, less than him is a lot. This scholar began to prepare for the imperial examination with arrogance, but unfortunately, as he realized the cruelty of Luoyang City, he had no choice but to put down his body and throw papers everywhere......"
"Excuse me," Zhang Xi put a peanut in his mouth and interrupted, "Brother Xin, what is a roll?" ”
Before Zhang Xin could answer, Lu Jinshi burped and hurriedly said, "Throw the roll?" Throwing the scroll is to throw your own nonsense poems and texts one by one to the door of the dignitaries, just like the Qing officials in the Qinglou out of the pavilion, show your posture and talent to the masters, and the gentlemen have taken a fancy to it...... You obediently go out of the pavilion to sleep for the gentlemen, and the gentlemen look down on it...... Where did you come from, go back......" Erliang yellow soup was down, Lu Jinshi looked a little bohemian, and his usual gentle appearance was gone. Zhang Xin listened to Lu Jinshi's vulgar analogy, and the muscles on his face twitched: "Uh...... It's not rough, that's probably what it means. ”
"Okay...... Brother Xin, you continue. ”
"Where's that? Oh...... Pitch ...... The poor scholars voted one by one, probably because they were humiliated by the official master, but then an official finally took him in......"
"!" Lu Jinshi didn't like to listen to it, and immediately interrupted, "I think that back then, I Lu Zicai was also a romantic talent in Luoyang, and those meat eaters cried and shouted to collect my poems, which was obviously because I didn't look down on those fat-headed and big-eared goods, and in the end, only the Marquis of Helan moved me by looking at the thatched cottage three times, so I let me go out of the mountain to help him......"
"Okay......" Zhang Xin knew that this was clearly putting gold on his face, but he didn't bother to expose him, "The real version is that as soon as the poor scholar wrote a poem, he immediately shocked the entire Luoyang City, and the officials and masters cried and shouted that they wanted to take the scholar under their door, and in the end it was Helan Min's ......"
"Master Hou! Lord Helan Hou! Lu Jinshi obviously had great respect for the Marquis of Helan and emphasized.
"Okay, the Marquis of Helan looked at the thatched house three times, and only then did he move this scholar, and the two of them bowed three times and bowed nine times, like a fish in water......"
"Three knocks and nine bows, like a fish in water?" Lu Jinshi sounded a little awkward, and the last two words felt a little flowery...... But this time, he had already dried three or four bowls of wine with peanuts, and he didn't feel anything when he drank this sorghum wine, and he was a little upset after drinking, and Lu Jinshi was a little unable to turn around at this time. Although I feel that Zhang Xin's words are a little strange...... But that's probably what it means, huh...... What Zhang Xin said is still very true!
"Yo? Drinking fast, huh? How about this sorghum wine? At this time, Lao Wang personally came over with a large plate of mutton.
"Great...... Zhang Xin gave a thumbs up, "Uncle Wang, I don't want to leave...... Shall I stay here to brush your plates? Wages with wine tops! ”
Lao Wang smiled "haha", Zhang Xin's praise obviously made him very proud, "Come on, I really let you brush the dishes here, the second master has to discount my other leg...... You use it slowly, and you don't call me anymore. ”
Zhang Xinmu saw Lao Wang limp away, and then turned his head and continued: "Let's go on...... **** This mutton is also so delicious...... Damn, I really want to brush the dishes for Lao Wang here...... After this scholar entered the Hou Mansion...... Ay? Jinshi, how did you meet his teacher after this scholar? ”
Lu Jinshi didn't care about the mutton in front of him, he still drank bowl after bowl, and when he heard Zhang Xin's question, he tilted his head and thought for a long time before saying, "Hmm...... Teacher...... Division...... Poem...... Yes, it was the Luoyang Peony Poetry Conference that year, and I made a poem that happened to be commented on by my teacher...... At that time, the teacher was a staff member under the account of the Hou Ye......"
"Hmm......" Zhang Xin listened to Lu Jinshi's recollections, and before Zhang Xi put down his chopsticks, he directly grabbed a piece of fat mutton that Zhang Xi was eyeing in his hand, which provoked Zhang Xi to shout: "Brother Xin!" ”
"Anyway, the scholar and his master have known each other like this, and the two of them are heroes and heroes...... Sorry for each other!" Zhang Xin didn't have the slightest sense of shame of grabbing meat with his hands from under other people's chopsticks, at this time Zhang Xi was not angry, and picked it out to make trouble, "No, brother, Brother Zicheng obviously said that literati are light!" ”
"You know a fart, a kid knows what a hero is? Eat your meat......" Zhang Xin said dissatisfiedly, "In short, that scholar entered the department in one fell swoop with the help of his marquis, and he was still the most glorious Jinshi department, and then naturally became a member of the official master, which can be described as a young man's ambition...... Tut-tut...... It's a pity that there are unforeseen circumstances and people have good and bad luck, and it didn't take long for this scholar to give the court a seal fold, probably saying how to fuck up business, so that the court can suppress business...... Do you want me to talk about it later? ”
